Ducati release prices for 2016 models

Ducati Australia has kept a lid on most prices for their 2016 models and replaced the Monster 659 with the Scrambler 400 as its only learner model.

However, it’s as hefty price tag for learners to get on to a Ducati with LAMS Scrambler 400 at $11,990, just $1000 less than the 800cc Scrambler Icon and the previous Minster 659.

The Steetfighter and several Diavel models have also been deleted from the 2016 line-up.

While prices have remained stable during a plummeting Aussie dollar (except for the Multistrada Pikes Peak which is up $3000), it should also be noted that some moderate price rises reflect technology upgrades and, in the case of the Panigale 899, it has been replaced by the more powerful Panigale 959.

The list includes several new models including the XDiavel, Scrambler Sixty2 and Flat Track Pro, Monster 1200 R and Multistrada Enduro.
